Answer:

Negative

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets look at it with numbers!

a=-2 , b=4

a*2b is -2*2(4)  ---> -2*8 ---> -16

If you multiple a negative and a negative it will be positive, but if you multiply a positive and a negative it will be negative;

+ * + = +

+ * - = -

- * -  = +

I hope this helps!

Rodney is given twi equations:x-y=11 and 2x+y=19
lozanna [386]

Answer:

x= 10 and y= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite your second equation Y= -2x+ 19 then plug it into the first equation.

x- (-2x + 19) = 11

x + 2x - 19 =11

3x - 19 = 11

3x = 30

x = 10

The plug that answer into the first equation and solve.

10 - y = 11

-y = 1

y = -1

Solve the equation of exponential decay.
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

$9,220,000(0.888)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Model this using the following formula:

Value = (Present Value)*(1 - rate of decay)^(number of years)

Here, Value after t years = $9,220,000(1 -0.112)^t

          Value after t years =  $9,220,000(0.888)^t
